When Emperor Kangxi thought of this, he happily stroked his mustache and asked with a smile: "What ideas do you have for improving the whip method? Tell me."
Yinreng drank the milk tea in his hand in one breath, frowned, and said slowly: "Actually, I also have doubts in my heart. If the poll tax is completely abolished in the Qing Dynasty, even in Tibet and other areas, One result is likely to be a population explosion."
¡°Of course, one of the reasons is that the population that was previously concealed in order to evade the poll tax no longer needs to be concealed.¡±
¡°And if we implement the unification of land and land, merge the taxes and servitudes, and then unify the land tax and land tax with acres as the tax objects, although taxation and collection procedures can be simplified, it is likely to cause a kind of tax transfer, and the landlords Increase rents for the tenant farmers below.¡±
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince feels that it is indeed feasible to levy Ding Yin into land tax, abolish the previous "poll tax", and free landless farmers and people from other industries from the burden of Ding Yin that they have endured for thousands of years. when. What he needs to consider is how to avoid the above problems as much as possible.
Emperor Kangxi thought that through these loose and tolerant tax policies, he could not only consolidate and unite the middle and lower class people, completely dismantle the social foundation of the "remainers of the previous dynasty" and ensure that the national finances were sufficient, but also emphasize the fairness of the Manchu court. Be honest and prosperous, and create a social atmosphere where people are calm and peaceful.
Although the father and son had different goals, fortunately they had the same goal, so Emperor Kangxi thought about it for a while and finally made a decision.
"The population problem can be easily solved. When the poll tax is abolished, a rule should be made that only three children per household can be exempted from the poll tax. As for the problem of tenant farmers, there is no solution for the time being, except to speed up the implementation of free education. Strengthen efforts so that the children of tenant farmers can also go to school and start to improve their knowledge and the next generation."
Yinreng nodded, three children is almost enough. If there are any more, the country cannot afford it, so the individual can only pay for it himself.
"Emperor Ama, what do you think about the idea that the gentry should work as a servant and pay the grain as one person?"
For thousands of years, people have been studying hard to gain fame through the imperial examination. Part of the reason is that all the bureaucrats and gentry in this land, as long as they have an official status and a good reputation, have a certain amount of acres and do not need to pay Taxes, no corvee.
If you pass the examination as a scholar, you can be exempted from personal agricultural taxes and corvee, and you don't have to kneel when you see the county magistrate. This is to get rid of your identity as a farmer; if you pass the examination, you will have tax exemption rights, which is to successfully enter the country's ruling class. Gentleman status.
If one of the four brothers in a family has an official status, they will put all the land under their respective names into the name of this brother, so that the whole family does not have to pay land tax; similarly, people from a village and a clan will deposit the land under the name of the squire. , you can evade taxes.
These officials do not pay taxes themselves, but also obtain certain rewards by helping others avoid taxes "reasonably and legally". The upper side said that the national tax revenue dropped sharply; the lower side said that the squeezed ordinary people who did not have relatives and friends who were officials had a more difficult life because they had to bear more taxes and corvees.
It's really I can't find the right words to express it. No matter how much I think about it, His Highness the Prince cannot correctly understand this "gentry privilege", so he wants to truly cut off this millennium-old disadvantage and actively develop the agricultural, industrial and commercial class as a whole. An emerging force came to check and balance the gentry class.
Rather than being like the Yongzheng Emperor in history, the reform only touched the surface of this "gentry privilege" and stopped because of his death.
Sitting opposite him, Emperor Kangxi was stunned by his words. After that, his eyes opened instantly, "You brat, let me tell you why you were so talkative just now. In total, are you waiting here?"
"Do you know that Zhang Juzheng, the great reformer of the previous dynasty, did not dare to say these words?" Emperor Kangxi became more and more angry as he spoke, and his chest was rising and falling. He stood up and stared at him. I'm really afraid that my dear son's next sentence will be that the Aixinjueluo clan's fiefdom and the royal estate also have to pay taxes per acre.
He fully agrees that the poll tax, which is levied based on the number of family members, should be changed to a tax based on the number of family properties.
The more land you annex, the more taxes you pay. This not only severely dealt a blow to the land annexation of farmers by the gentry group, but also stimulated the production enthusiasm of farmers who had no land, a small amount of land, or some land, and greatly reduced their tax burden.
Overall, this is a good thing. The first is to shift the tax targets to large landowners; the second is to stimulate farmers' enthusiasm for production; the third is to relax farmers'Gotta take care of you. "
"Seeing that this swimming pool is going to become popular in the Qing Dynasty again, if you go into the water with the courtiers in the future, and people see your skeleton, they will think that the emperor is treating you harshly every day and not giving you enough to eat?"
His Highness the Prince, who had already stood up and was about to leave, replied casually: "Don't worry, Emperor Ama, I will not go into the water with those ministers who spray perfume every day to cover up the smell of their sweat."
Emperor Kangxi kicked him as soon as he raised his foot.
Where did this brat get all these bad habits?
He forced each of his brothers to develop the habit of bathing and washing hands frequently, not to mention himself. Even he was forced to bathe every two or three days in the winter.
It¡¯s not enough to work hard at home, now I still dislike the courtiers for not taking a bath every day and smelling of perfume and sweat. The brat with a small nose as sensitive as a military dog ??is so annoying.
His Highness the Crown Prince ducked out of the way and arrived outside the cabin. When he returned to his cabin, he found that the Crown Princess was not sleeping yet, waiting for him, so he quickly took a bath, washed himself and got into the small bed.
It may be that you are really tired and need to rest. Listening to the sound of the wind and waves outside, His Royal Highness, who was resting with his eyes closed, fell asleep quickly again. The Crown Princess looked at his sleeping face and mentally calculated how long he would sleep today. She frowned slightly. It seemed that she would still have to ask the imperial doctor for detailed questions tomorrow.
The weather cleared up the next day, and the Feilong also arrived at Weihai Port.
Weihai is also known as Weihaiwei. During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, Weihaiwei was established to prevent Japanese pirates from invading the country. It was originally the seat of Wendeng County. The city was built in the first year of Yongle, with the meaning of "powerful in the East China Sea", "Weizhi is located in the east of Shandong, surrounded by the sea on three sides, and one city bears the mountains. It is the most dangerous in the world, and it is an important place for sea defense."
Yinreng got up in the morning, swam, washed and ate, briefly explained to the princess about the pearl milk tea, and then went to the deck to take pictures as usual.
Due to the regulation of the ocean, the temperature in Weihai in June is slightly lower than that in inland areas at the same latitude. With abundant precipitation, high humidity, and a cool and pleasant climate, Weihai is already developing into a summer resort in several adjacent areas.
Although it is not a metropolis, it is still a place where sea routes converge.
Sailboats and waves sailed in and out of the vast rivers and misty clouds. Travelers from Guangnan, Fujian, Huaihe, and Zhejiang returned from other countries on sea ships selling spices and other miscellaneous taxable goods. Merchants from Jingdong, Hebei, and Hedong carried silk, cotton, and twisted ropes. Silk is waiting to go to sea. Merchants and merchant ships from Japanese, Goguryeo, French, Italian and other countries came and went from the port, and there was a prosperous and prosperous scene everywhere.
He thought about the original historical records of Weihai, the birthplace of the Beiyang Navy, the first navy of ancient China, the place where the Sino-Japanese War of 1895-1895 took place, and one of the "Seven Sons" who returned to the embrace of the motherland after the war. Then he looked at the people from many countries in front of him. Cargo ships are lining up to enter the port. Listening to the whistles of giant ships coming in and out, I feel filled with emotion.
